Baker McKenzie, Private Equity | Chambers Europe Profile

About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

The PE practice in Warsaw is led by Tomasz Krzyżowski and Filip Uziębło, but also heavily supported by our ECM and Banking & Finance practices, which are both strongly focused on work for PE sponsors. Our global coverage and ability to advise clients on multi-jurisdictional projects have always been the trademark of Baker McKenzie and something that makes stand out- our PE clients appreciate that we are able to follow them and advise them in many jurisdictions, where they are seeking out acquisition opportunities and/or where their portfolio companies conduct (or plan to conduct) their operations.

Full-focus PE practice. Unlike our competitors on the Polish market, our Private Equity transactional team advises PE funds through their full lifecycle, starting from their (tax) structuring and establishment, through investment in portfolio companies and strategic day-to-day advisory, up until assistance with exits, including the closure and settlement of the fund. Aligned with Baker McKenzie’s global PE strategy, we advise PE portfolio companies on add-on acquisitions and/or reorganizations. With our worldwide coverage as well as extensive presence in the CEE region, Baker McKenzie is the ideal legal advisor for the financial sponsors' industry.
